Smallwood Design & Construction Builds More Than Homes—It Builds Community
At Kitsap Credit Union, we value partnerships with businesses that have helped shape our local communities for generations. Smallwood Design & Construction (SDC) is one of those businesses.
Founded more than 40 years ago on Bainbridge Island by Rob Smallwood, SDC began as a one-person construction company, with Rob running the business and performing the carpentry himself. Over time, the company earned a reputation for building exceptional custom homes throughout the region. Approximately 25 years ago, Rob's sons, Ryan and Shad, joined the business, helping continue the family legacy while expanding the company's capabilities.
Today, Smallwood Design & Construction is a full-service design-build firm, offering both professional design services and a highly skilled construction team capable of bringing those designs to life. Through a collaborative process, SDC guides clients from the earliest planning stages through project completion, creating custom homes and remodels tailored to each client's unique vision.
For more than four decades, SDC has grown alongside Bainbridge Island and the greater Kitsap community. As the region has evolved and demand for new homes, renovations, and expansions has increased, the company has remained focused on delivering thoughtful, client-centered projects. While headquartered on Bainbridge Island, SDC serves clients throughout Kitsap County and beyond, contributing to the area's continued growth and development.
What truly sets Smallwood Design & Construction apart is its commitment to personalized service. As a family-owned business, the team understands that building or remodeling a home is often one of the largest investments a person will make. Their goal is to provide clients with confidence, comfort, and guidance throughout the entire process.
That same commitment to trusted relationships led SDC to Kitsap Credit Union.
"As a family company, we have always strived to offer clients personalized service and comfort throughout the building process," shared Ryan Smallwood, SDC Vice President. "When choosing a financial institution, we needed confidence that we would receive the service and security necessary to serve our clients."
Supporting local businesses has always been important to SDC, making Kitsap Credit Union a natural fit. Since moving their business banking to KCU six years ago, they have valued the personalized support and community-focused approach they receive.
"Since making the switch to Kitsap Credit Union, we have always received the personalized service we need to run our business," Ryan shared. "We appreciate being able to operate with confidence knowing the goals of KCU align with ours in serving our community."
Smallwood Design & Construction's story is one of craftsmanship, family values, and long-term commitment to the Kitsap community. Kitsap Credit Union is proud to support local businesses like SDC as they continue building homes, strengthening neighborhoods, and investing in the future of our region.
